Thompsons Arms

We had a lovely stay so much so we have re booked the same cosy end barn conversion. The room was very reasonably priced (necessary for our small budget). The bed was large and ultra comfortable. Everywhere was cosy and warm. If you want to have your car locked away there is parking behind electric gates in the courtyard, we just left ours in the pub car park. There is the pub if you want it and its all very nice and frequented by local people. The breakfast is lovely and inexpensive. The location is ideal for Castle Howard, Malton, Stamford Bridge and York. Highly recommend

Nice place to stay. Secure onsite parking. Located out in the country, no stores for miles. Really nice roomy space upstairs with two skylights offering plenty of natural light with some views. No number or name for the room. There are food & drink options. 3 nights in early-September 2025. Negatives: Whimsical Keys of the past, really don't do it for me for many safety reasons. I recommend leaving this type of key in the slot while in the room. Wi-Fi was timing out & not the easiest to reconnect. TV would power up but not connect to anything for long, screen was black more often than not for all channels & never improved. No USB ports. Positives: Check-in was easy. Onsite free parking. Room was super quiet, clean, roomy, & comfortable. Nice view. Water was hot. Everything was clean. Interesting Bathroom with roomy shower with adjustable hand held shower head. Lot's of bathroom extras provided and choices of big (what you buy for yourself at home) bottles of shampoo & body gel. Only place of six that actually has proper towel bars. Always appreciate a in room Refrigerator. Check-out was easy.

Booked for one night whilst working at York Racecourse. Stuart and Lilli are absolutely fabulous hosts nothing too much trouble. My room was clean, comfortable and had a good shower. The cooked english breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. I would definitely recommend and will be looking to book again for next year. I nearly forgot Carling Lager at £3.50 a pint what more could you want.

Lovely pub with quaint cottages to stay in. Landlord and lady were exceptionally warm with their welcome and wet accommodating. Taxi service offered for those needing to get to sandburn hall for weddings too! Beds very comfy, just by a main road meaning you do hear every vehicle going past. Breakfast £7.50 and was delicious. Highly recommend.

A real gem . Lovely friendly helpful owners . Clean, very comfy rooms . Best nights sleep . Great breakfast.
